Abstract

To resolve the details of flow in complicated multi-dimensional cases, the necessary amount of computer time and memory exceeds the capability of most modern high speed computers, such that adaptive methods are in the current center of interest. In this paper, we summarize our work concerning a dynamical adaptive finite volume method for the numerical computation of inviscid compressible flow in the plane and describe the refinement indicator used in unsteady and steady flow. Thus, this paper can be viewed as the second part to [1]. The method described belongs to the class of box schemes and works on general triangulations. The adaptive techniques used are point insertion/removing algorithms and some effort was undertaken to develop residual based refinement indicators.
